Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
The Tooth Fairy
Stella is probably the only first grader in her class that has NOT yet lost ONE tooth. At her dentist appointment over Christmas break, the hygienist and dentist both reassured her that it was quite normal. They also told me it was still going to be awhile – nothing was budging much yet. So yesterday

My kids have been talking about Leprechaun Traps for the past week. I’m not sure where they even got the idea, but they have been thinking intently about how to build them, where to put them, what they’ll do with the Leprechaun, etc. So when the weather looked a bit YUCK today (again), I thought

Split Peas Aren’t Just For Soup

St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Thumbprint Craft
I was searching back through old photos and came across these snapshots from St. Patrick’s Day in 2010. Too cute. Yes, I’m biased.

Countdown to the Ball…Here We Go Again!
A year ago Andy and I had to got the chance to go to the local Heart Ball due to his company’s involvement with the American Heart Association. And then we got the chance to escape our children for the weekend attend the Heart Ball in Minneapolis last fall. Well, it’s that time again. Our
Baked Pizza Dip
This is a quick and easy appetizer that is sure to be a hit at any gathering. It can be made with or without the pepperoni or any other toppings. I was taking mine to a Super Bowl party for this photo, so I placed my pepperoni into the shape of a football. I also
